Embodiment 3

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, to make it more convenientfor a user to use a wearable electronic device, when a display screen ofthe wearable electronic device is in a standby state, an area around atapping position may be automatically lighted according to operationdata of the user, such as the tapping position of the user such that theuser can perform an operation on the lighted area part.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, a sensor 1 is set as atouch sensor, and a display 4 includes a display screen that is in astandby state. Operation data of the user can be collected using thetouch sensor, and a tapping position of the user on the display screenthat is in the standby state is acquired. The touch sensor generates asensor signal that represents the acquired tapping position, and sendsthe sensor signal to a processor 2, and the sensor signal thatrepresents the tapping position. The processor 2 receives touch sensor,determines, according to the current tapping position, a lighted area onthe display screen that is in the standby state, and generates a displaycontrol signal that controls the display screen that is in the standbystate to display the lighted area, and sends the display control signalto a display controller 3. The display controller 3 controls, accordingto the received display control signal, the display screen that is inthe standby state to display the lighted area.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, a process of determiningthe lighted area on the display screen based on the tapping position ofthe user is shown in FIG. 7 , and includes the following steps.

S301: Collect operation data of a user using a touch sensor, acquire atapping position of the user on a display screen that is in a standbystate, generate a sensor signal that represents the tapping position,and send the sensor signal to a processor 2.

S302: The processor 2 receives the sensor signal that represents thetapping position and is sent by the touch sensor, and determines,according to the current tapping position, a lighted area on the displayscreen that is in the standby state.

In an embodiment, the following manner may be preferably used in aprocess in which a sensor module in this embodiment of the presentdisclosure determines, according to a current electrode position, thelighted area on the display screen that is in the standby state.

A: Divide in advance a display screen M that is in an electrode statefrom a center position X to two sides by a fixed display area size intoseveral display sub-areas Qs as shown in FIG. 8A.

B: Determine whether the current tapping position is located within adisplay sub-area Q on the display screen that is in the standby state.

If yes, a display sub-area in which the current tapping position islocated is used as the lighted area on the display screen that is in thestandby state. As shown in FIG. 8B, if the tapping position is preciselylocated within a display sub-area Q1, the display sub-area Q1 isdetermined as the lighted area on the display screen that is in thestandby state.

If no, a display sub-area adjacent to the current tapping position isused as the lighted area on the display screen that is in the standbystate. As shown in FIG. 8C, if the tapping position is not locatedwithin any display sub-area, a display sub-area Q2 adjacent to thetapping position is used as the lighted area on the display screen thatis in the standby state.

In the foregoing manner of determining the lighted area, a size of thelighted area may be determined with reference to a size of the displayscreen, which can adapt to the size of the display screen and helps toclearly display content.

S303: Generate a display control signal that controls the display screenthat is in the standby state to display the lighted area determined inS302, send the display control signal to a display controller 3, andinstruct the display controller 3 to control the display screen that isin the standby state to display the lighted area determined in S302.

In an embodiment, that the display controller 3 in this embodiment ofthe present disclosure controls the display screen that is in thestandby state to display the determined lighted area may be implementedusing the following manner.

If the user does not lock the screen, the display controller 3 invokes apower response event (screen-off/screen-on), supplies power to thedetermined lighted area, and controls the display to turn on backlightof the determined lighted area. A home screen is directly displayed in adetermined area in which the screen needs to be lighted.

If the user locks the screen, the display controller 3 needs to firstquery a screen-locked state (locked/unlocked). If the screen is in ascreen-locked state, after invoking a power response event(screen-off/screen-on), the display controller 3 supplies power to thedetermined lighted area, and controls to turn on backlight of thedetermined area. A lock screen is first displayed in a determined areain which a screen needs to be lighted, and after the user unlocks thescreen, a home screen is displayed.

Further, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, when the lightedarea is displayed, the following operation may further be performed onthe lighted area to zoom in the display area zoom in, using the tappingposition as a center, the lighted area outwards to a preset area rangeor an area range that adapts to a size of the display screen, or zoomin, using a horizontal line in which the tapping position is located asa top, the lighted area downwards to a preset area range or an arearange that adapts to a size of the display screen, or zoom in, using ahorizontal line in which the tapping position is located as a bottom,the lighted area upwards to a preset area range or an area range thatadapts to a size of the display screen.

In an embodiment, an implementation process of zooming in displaycontent in the lighted area in this embodiment of the present disclosuremay be executed by a display. The present area range is an area range ofa size that is not greater than the size of the display screen and thatis preset by the user according to the size of the display screen. Thearea range that adapts to the size of the display screen is an arearange lighted by means of automatically identifying the size of thedisplay screen in a process of zooming in the lighted area. For example,if the size of the display screen is 10×20, the area range that adaptsto the size of the display screen may be an area range adaptive to asize of 10×20, or may be an area range adaptive to a size of 10×10.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, a lighted area on adisplay screen that is in a standby state can be determined according toa tapping position, the lighted area is displayed, and a displayposition on the display screen can be determined according to anoperation of a user. For example, as shown in FIG. 9 , the user may usean area B surrounding a tapping position A as the lighted area such thatthe display screen finally only displays the lighted area B to make itmore convenient when the user views display content. In addition,display content in the lighted area may be displayed by means of zoomingin such that the displayed content is more intuitive, which isconvenient for the user to perform an operation.
